@@anthonyt219 Having gloves with nomex and other fire resistant materials is just such overkill for sim racing. Now, I do appreciate realism and if thats what you're after, go for it. Or if you Kart. But I have a tough time, despite wanting a pair LOL
I mean, for $45, you should expect to replace gloves - even good karting gloves - after a year of use. Most guys I know who kart either as a hobby or semi-pro, they replace their nice ones every year. I feel like if they last a year before really breaking down, spending another $45 (current USD price) is not a bad deal at all. Technically gloves and such are not going to last forever. 1yr of good use, seems fine.
I don't bother using gloves anymore, but when I did I used my motorcycling gloves with great sucess and durability. Get some leather short riding gloves with no knuckle protectors and no palm sliders. Mine were alpinestars iirc.
I just bought actual FIA racing gloves like the ones from Simpson lmao. Expensive but great quality
Nice purchase Anthony, which model did you get?
@@LDFR they're the retro looking gloves called talon gloves by simpson. I bought the red ones

Mine lasted 2 months using them 2-3 hours a week, thay are a very expensive piece of crap
Ouch! I've not had as bad luck as you with them, but I fully agree that the lack of proper durability is THE flaw of these gloves.
@@LDFR and the lack of customer service from @SparcoOfficial, I sent them 2 emails, more than a year and a half ago, still waiting for an answer...
